More info?)
At question 2, you need to make sure your driver version is the most updated
from the D-Link site. Windows Update will not always give you the most
updated drivers on all products. The driver that comes with the product does
not have to be the most updated either, even if you bought it yesterday.
At Question 4, Have you disabled the Firewall and tried?
At Question 5, that puts other options out there that were not clarified
before.
Have you enabled WEB or WAP on your router? If yes then disable them and see
if it works without encryption enabled.
Have you Enabled any MAC filtering or set a range of IPs to be used? If you
have MAC filtering on then the DHCP server would be ignoring the new NIC. If
you have set a range of IPs to use like 192.168.0.2 to 196.168.0.5 and are
trying to connect a fifth machine the router will also ignore that.
Ill think about this a bit more, let me know if any of that helped...
